O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization (Polish: O-bi, o-ba: Koniec cywilizacji) is a 1985 Polish post-apocalyptic drama film written and directed by Piotr Szulkin.

Starring Jerzy Stuhr and Krystyna Janda, the film takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where humans live in an isolated vault which is falling apart. Their only grain of hope lies in a vessel known as The Ark, which is said to be on its way to rescue them; however, the existence of The Ark is a myth planted by the main character, Soft, whose profession is to ensure that citizen morale is maintained.
